OFL with Reserved Font Name - A question

[Tharique Azeez]

Hi Dave and the list,

I have updated the Latin Counterpart of the Pavanam to match with the design of Tamil letterforms, as you may have seen in the forum. Latest version is in action here: http://enathu.github.io/pavanam/

For that I am using Pontano Sans by Vernon Adams as the Latin counterpart, and I checked the OFL of it other day, (https://github.com/google/fonts/blob/6d647f94f616f1769c218a0cb52037c77d1f3fff/ofl/pontanosans/OFL.txt) and that said, it's released with Reserved Font Name (RFN). I am wondering whether is it okay to adopt a font that being released under OFL with RFN? Please enlighten me.

Thank you very much.

Best smile,

Tharique Azeez

Yes., it just means you can't use the same name for your work.
